What does THIS button do?

Last night, whilst trying to figure out how to add "Peggle" to my new ipod, I pressed the "Sync" button for the first time.

What a terrible fucking mistake...

For those of you who've managed to avoid the "Sync" button, here's what it does...

It DELETES all of the music on your ipod, and "syncs" it up to the music on your computer.

Now, if you've got all of your music on your computer, then that's no problem. Everything is in "sync" and you can just bop right on out of there, ipod fully loaded.

If, however, your computer is an old piece-of-crap, like mine, and you don't have anywhere NEAR enough memory to hold all of your music, AND you've been downloading disks to your computer, transferring them over to the ipod and then deleting the music from your computer for a week... it means that it deletes a fuck-load of music from your ipod and then adds the meager offerings that are actually ON your hard-drive, sending you away with about 1/10th of what you DID have on there.

Also, take note...

If you realize what you've done, panic, and jerk the ipod out of the cradle before it's done, then it does NOTHING BUT delete all of your music, without adding anything, leaving the ipod as pristine as "High School Musical"s female castmates hymen.

Weeks to add music.
An instant to lose it all.

Can you guess what I'll be doing over the next few weeks?

Fuck.



PS. I haven't played "Peggle" yet on my ipod, but it better be a FUCKING blast. To pass the time while I'm re-loading all of this shit back onto my ipod.

I'm SOOOO sorry! I love you and am sending you some amazing vibes through this. I accidentally did this to my mom's ipod and I thought she would kill me. Thank goodness all she has on there are 3 Barry Manilow CD's and a late Billy Joel. I haven't taught her the art of loading the disks on to iTunes yet. Soon. Very soon. Just like teaching her to text message...Just left of never. ;-) Anyhow, I am giving you the ultimate in HUGS through this. Oy vey! ;-) Hope Monday is FANTASTIC. ;-)

hahahaha I can't help but laugh at your "retarded" mistake... what did you think that button was going to do? and by the way, as some one with over 30GB of music and video on my ipod... i was told to get an external drive to store all my ipod stuff on... that way when I doc and sync, everything is just fine. God love ya!
